Convert Pandas DataFrame to JSON format

Question

I have a Pandas DataFrame with two columns – one with the filename and one with the hour in which it was generated:

 File       Hour
  F1               


        

Answer 1

The output that you get after DF.to_json is a string. So, you can simply slice it according to your requirement and remove the commas from it too.

out = df.to_json(orient='records')[1:-1].replace('},{', '} {')

To write the output to a text file, you could do:

with open('file_name.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(out)
